Spokane trip

While our little apartment was on a truck and driving it's way it Clarkston, we were in Spokane with my family.  It was a carefree 12 days of pure relaxation and fun.  Both my parents are great host and made our stay feel like a vacation.  My sister Lori also drove up to Spokane to spend some time with us.  Savannah was so in love with "her cousins".  She tried to imitate them and became their little showed.  While we were in Spokane we did  A LOT.  We rock-climbed 3 times (much needed), went camping at Riverside State Park (first time ever for my twins), kayaked, BBQ, swam, played, and I painted a picture with my Dad.  It was a wonderful 12 days.  I am so excited that I will now be living only 2 hours from my parents.   

WE HAD FUN AT MANITO PARK

Good-bye Florida

Good-bye Florida....we will miss you.   Our family is leaving Florida and moving on.  We came to this state knowing that we would only live here for 3 years.  But I never thought I would grow so attached to a place so different  from home.  We have truly enjoyed Florida over the last 3 years.   There are a couple thing I won't miss; humidity, traffic, bugs, stop lights, sand in my car, and no fresh air.  But overall there are more things I will miss.  I have made some wonderful friends who I will forever cherish.  We attended a remarkable ward that will dearly be missed.  I loved the year-round work-out weather.  The parks were so beautiful with fresh fruit.  We will forever miss a pool and workout-room attached to our apartment.  And the beaches will never be the same.  Florida... we will miss you.

 

 

 

Good-bye to our little apartment.  So many awesome memories in our Florida State

7 months old

Our little Eli is now 7 months.  He is such a happy baby, and growing up way to fast.   We now call he blueberry eyes.  I just love his eyes and love watching him watch me!!   Eli loves to interact and be a part of everything.  He is very much "on the move".  He loves exploring things, loves eating new foods, loves putting everything in his mouth, and loves being held.  He is such a sweet baby.

 

Dr. Kanooth

After 4 years of Medical School and 3 years of Residency, Leif is FINALLY done with his training.  Congratulations to Dr. Leif Kanooth!!  We are so proud of him.

There was a graduation for all the residents up in Safety Harbor.  The Program Director talked about each resident individually.  It was a great ceremony.  We are so excited for Leif and even more excited to be moving onto our next chapter in life.

 

good bye BEACHES

Before we said good-bye to Florida I had a chance to experience a beach baptism.   It was a really neat experience and very spiritual.  I will forever miss both the beach and our Seminole Ward.

 

 

Good bye beaches!!!!
